Ok so I got this working...
So I use this Perl Script along with another one that runs in the
background on a remote terminal server. This script will now establish
a socket connection with the remote server, send an initial
"acceptance" message so the remote server knows it is a valid
connection. If the remote server does not receive the valid string it
will close the connection.

If anyone finds themselves trying to do something similar to this I
found a few really good sites that helped me through this:
